前NBC6体育新闻主播凯博斯汀（Adam Kuperstein）6日在IG上表示，双亲都感染新冠肺炎，虽然只是轻微，但父亲每况愈下，送往加护病房用呼吸器维持生命一周后宣告死亡，临终前只有医护人员紧握他的双手，很遗憾自己无法陪伴左右。
凯博斯汀在文中提到，双亲确诊之后都各自隔离，然而听到父亲有生命危险时，母亲还有其他手足只能隔着手机屏幕见最后一面，尽管已经做好心理准备，但是当护士宣告父亲心跳停止的那一刻，他们的心也跟着碎了。
凯博斯汀提到，母亲只出现失去味觉和嗅觉等轻微症状，父亲病逝时却只能在家隔离，而自己因为身处疫情最严重的纽约市，而无法陪伴在母亲左右，更别说给予一个基本的拥抱。
凯博斯汀在文末也缅怀说，父亲身为一名大屠杀幸存者之子，来到美国白手起家，为家人做出的牺牲，还教导他们如何成为绅士，从来不求任何的回报，自己以父亲为荣，同时也鼓励大家不可忽视任何的轻微症状。
My dad died with a stranger holding his hand. With his wife of 43 years forced to stay inside their home, all alone. With his sons, stuck in the epicenter of this crisis, where never-ending sirens echo throughout a deserted city. All we could do was listen on the phone (from our separate quarantines), choking back tears, as the nurse informed us, “his heart stopped.” That’s when our hearts broke. We were shattered. A week of picturing the strong man we called “Aba,” connected to a ventilator in an Indianapolis ICU, was bad enough, but now we were forced to imagine life without him. I couldn’t. I can’t. And I can’t even hug my mom! She tested positive for COVID-19 too. Only minor symptoms thankfully, but at a time where she needed someone to comfort her, she was alone. It’s the cruelest part of this nightmare. She deserves better. He deserved better. My dad came to this country with nothing, the son of Holocaust survivors, and achieved so much. He made sacrifices for his family and taught his boys how to become gentlemen, never asking for anything in return. Just love. So please pay tribute to my dad by protecting your loved ones and yourself as the coronavrius crisis grows. Don’t overlook symptoms just because you don’t have a cough or shortness of breath. My father’s symptoms were digestive at first. My mom mainly lost her sense of taste and smell. And please send as much love as possible to the heroic health care workers trying to save us. My family never got to meet the nurses and doctors who cared for my Aba. But I know they did everything they could, even though it meant putting their own lives at risk. This is the last picture we took together. It wasn’t supposed to be. He had so much more love to give. We miss you Aba! #stayhome #coronavairus #covid19
